Julia Hill's Faves

My World. Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay.

Often times my work is more about a conversation with my anxieties. I have a deep, conflicting relationship with concepts of existentialism. The following works reflect abstract ideas that I simply don’t have words for.

Day 8 of inktober and the prompt is Teeth. Nick is excited to go out, he doesn't care what the reason is.

This is the other half of Return of the Polar Bear, a drawing in my moleskine. It is after Pieter Bruegel the Elder, an artist from the 16th century. I began it as a way to try out his intricate use of line and hatching. The subject matter altered some along the way - his etching didn't have any animals, and of course mine had to be all about the animals. I also simplified. It turned out to be a wonderful lesson.

A detail from Polar Bear Ship, a recently finished drawing after Pieter Bruegel the Elder, an artist of the 15th century. I changed it a fair bit, his didn't have polar bears - or any animals. I wanted to try out his style. I like this way of drawing.

The summer is now over. The warm and sunny days are gone. Ink on water color paper.

I designed this as a two page spread in a journal. I added a quote later.

This is another page from my journal. I will add text later. Acrylic paint and white gel pen.
